Comments Thread For: Nelson: If Wilder Turns Down Joshua Offer - It Doesn't Look Good

[LFC]

I would turn it down too if everything is in Joshua's favor too. I bet Joshua made an offer knowing it wasn't worth Deontay's time.

If you were offered 2.5 mill to fight Breazeale or 12.5 mil to fight Joshua, would you still turn down Joshua's offer?

I don't know why I am even getting involved with fanboy debates but it is my responsibility as a human to call out ******ed behaviour so hopefully these fanboys can learn to make proper judgements in the future.

Absolutely right...seems like wilder is just all talk and just wants a nice fat paycheck

[juggernaut666]

Not mad at all bro just telling it like it is

And the truth is all employees or anyone associated with Matchroom or sky isn’t going to give a truthfull response

But instead of replying to me in this thread go back to the Hearn thread where you quoted me and claimed you would take me down or make another Timmy thread about Wilder not wanting to fight Ortiz or AJ or whoever , that only reveals what a AJ cheerleader you are

Ok short bus

I already did , and that thread itself probably MADE the fight bc i know what a mental midget Wilder is on social media !

Other than that Wilder does NOT want the Joshua fight unless he gets a substantial amount bc he isn't as confident as his ******ed following is led to believe !

12m is not as bad as u bias bros make it to look like,it is a decent amount. wilder and his team shld accept this. u guys witnessed all the hype surrounding his fight with the boogyman ortiz, i was among those thinking this fight would make almost the same amount that joshua.. Parker fight made or even higher, but wat happened,u all know. i dont think it will get any better or bigger for wilder when he fights people like breazeale, parker, who else? ....This is an opportunity he must grab.. drop his pride, control his team's pride and go for this deal, this fight. In the second fight, if he wins the first, then he can make proposals that will favour him,and even if he loses in a spectacular fashion, it will still be gud for his career, remaining fights,moneywise.
dont deny loyal boxing fans the fight.

[deanrw]

I don't know why he doesn't just take the fight. 12.5 million is a damn huge payday.

If they keep up with this media play too long one of them might lose to someone else. Both guys seem vulnerable. With American boxing not as big as it used to be, Wilder is being offered a lottery win here.

Nah b*tch, stop hating on Deontay: Understand whats at stake, UNDISPUTED in the HW division ; going down in history. You must think Deontay is a sucka for taking a flat offer for what this means. But you know Johny Nelson is a SKY houseboy, thats the only reason they employ Nelson -- hes a poor-mans Roy Jones jr.

Trust me when I say, Anthony Joshua is in for the beating of this life!

[The Old LefHook]

The fight is worth $100,000,000. If one guy can only get 12.5 %, where is the super fight? Super fights are close on paper, too close to be reliably called. Any fight between two giant, undefeated champions is a rare event in boxing, even with multiple champions. Unification bouts are important events for the sport. It would be unusual both in terms of that company and from a boxing tradition standpoint for the offer not to be low ball, IMO.

Whatever short bus this maybe the saddest most delusional post I’ve ever read on this site

Yes your thread is the reason the fight got made. A loser poster on a boxing site made a World Champ chase the boogeyman of the division to prove to the guy who lives in a basement and hasn’t seen sunlight or had a women’s touch in years

Jesus you actually are a short bus rider and it’s clear you don’t operate in reality. For you to even type that and suggest that makes you come across as a joke ( a sad not funny one )

Wanting a Fair offer something Hearn has shown he’s willing to do in the past isn’t the same as not being confident

But thats probably too hard for a Simple Jack like yourself to comprehend.

[petegrif]

Bear in mind that the total take for the fight isn't the same as the total fighters purses.
There are expenses before the fight, there are other fighters to be paid, other expenses holding the fight.,., Managers cut, promoters cut Etc etc
Even if the total take were 200m that doesn't mean AJ and W will just split this.

[joebloggs789]

What was the Joshua - Parker fight worth in total? That would be a good place to start calculating what the Wilder fight might be worth.
If you say the fight is worth $100 million then break it down - how did you get to that figure. Sounds like they can't which is why Joshua called them on it.
So if its not worth $100M is it worth £50M? If so, 12.5M is a guaranteed 25%.

Agreed. This fight is noth worth £100M. Maybe if the first fight is a thriller then they have a rematch in Vegas then maybe, just maybe it'll be worth that much but for the first fight £50M sounds about right and offering 25% of that just seems like the start of negotiations, so don't know why so many of the "accountants" on here are *****ing and moaning.
